CICD 10th Anniversary and Data Summit

October 8, 2025 @ 2:00 pm October 9, 2025 @ 3:00 pm CDT

CICD’s tenth-anniversary artwork was created by Rachel Twoteeth-Pichardo, a Chippewa Cree and Pend d’Oreille multimedia artist. Twoteeth-Pichardo designed the piece as digital ledger art, a modern version of a traditional form of Native American artwork.

On October 8–9, 2025, leaders from across Indian Country, the Federal Reserve System, and beyond will gather to mark the Center for Indian Country Development’s (CICD’s) tenth anniversary and first decade of economic research and data work. This special two-day event will feature thought leader reflections on what we’ve learned from the past decade of economic research in Indian Country, economic innovations taking place across Native communities, and future opportunities for advancing the economic prosperity of Indian Country. Tribal and Federal Reserve leaders will also explore emerging opportunities related to tribal public finance, access to capital, and economic diversification.

In honor of CICD’s 10-year milestone, the first day will bring together national leaders from Indian Country and the Federal Reserve System, along with others interested in economic prosperity in Indian Country, to share perspectives on the past and future of economic advancements in Native economies. Leading experts will reflect on Indian Country’s contributions to the overall economy and the role of research and data in strengthening Native economies for the next seven generations.

The following day, a special milestone-year edition of CICD’s annual data summit will provide the opportunity to take a deeper dive into economic topics of interest. Indian Country thought leaders and economic experts will speak to emerging opportunities for Native communities to leverage economic data to enhance access to capital, diversify revenue, and promote community and economic well-being. The event will also introduce tribes across the country to the Survey of Native Nations, a collaboration between CICD and tribal governments to equip tribal leaders with benchmark public finance data.
